šHappy Saturday & National Beer Lover's Day! š»
Have you ever wanted to go to Europe and watch a full card on turf? Well, you are in luck because today on our first stop we are headed to Kentucky Downs in Franklin, KY for the closest track we have to an all-Euro track. I mean we run counter-clockwise while they go clockwise and they have some tracks that are a straight sprint forward but you get the point. The Breeders' Cups Challenge Series continues today with two win and in races. First up in race 10, we have the $2M Fanduel TV Turf Cup which earns you a spot in the Longines Turf in November at Del Mar. This a 12-furlong route race with 10 runners after an early scratch of the five-horse. All three of our cappers gave their picks for this race and it was not unanimous for which horse they thought would earn their Breeders' Cup entry today. Next up in the 11th race is the $2M Ainsworth Turf Sprint which gives one horse their place in the starting gate in November in the Prevagen Turf Sprint. While race 10 will take a bit to complete, don't blink during race 11 or you might miss this short sprint of six furlongs. Again, all three cappers weighed in but this time we have a consensus with the four Cogburn being our top pick across the board. If this were a football game I would say watch out because everyone is on the same game but in horse racing sometimes the best horse is simply the best in that race.
Today's card has 12 total races, five total stakes, and lottsa runners. Since this card is going to run all day there is plenty of time to enjoy some beers and wait for our second card. It's a good day to become a beer lover if you aren't the biggest fan. The weather today is going to be amazing with highs in the low 70s and mostly sunny skies. The all turf track should be in good order for this huge day of racing!
